Cities XL: A Different Perspective

Posted By: Paul YoungerJune 26, 2009

Monte Cristo has released several new images from its upcoming city-builder MMO, CitiesXL.

The images illustrate the different views players can choose when playing the game. The city in the images is known as Ragnarok on the English beta server, Galatea.The highest view is ‘Satellite’, which is taken at 10,000 feet. Further images show different game views that players can choose, all the way down to first person. Lastly, there are also ‘postcard’ views which only serve the purpose of creating a nice snapshot of your city.The different views can be used to see the progress of your city and analyse problems such as traffic or pollution. Closer vies can be used to oversee certain construction projects and large scale structures and, closer still, street and neighbourhood views allow players to see the life of their citizens.
